1. Gaza rockets hit Israel after ceasefire -police
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip launched 12 rockets into Israel during the hour after a
ceasefire was announced between Israel and Islamist militants this evening, an Israeli police
spokesman said. Israel and the Islamist Hamas movement agreed to an Egyptian-sponsored
ceasefire that came into effect at 8 p.m. to halt an eight-day conflict around the Gaza Strip that
has killed more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis. Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the 12
rockets landed in open areas and caused not damage or casualties. “We have not changed our
mode of alert and remain vigilant,” Rosenfeld said. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the
“Iron Dome” anti-missile system had intercepted some of the rockets. She added that Israel
had ceased all air strikes on Gaza after the ceasefire came into effect. In Gaza, witnesses
reported one explosion shortly after the truce took effect, but there were no casualties and the
cause of the blast was unclear.
